勾画

• Pinyin: gōu huà
• Desglose de hanzi: 勾 = 厶 + 勹 (curved hooking stroke); 画 = 田 (field) + 凵 + 一 (a field bounded by lines — to draw/delineate)

Significado

Esbozar; delinear; trazar a grandes rasgos.

Used both literally (sketching the outlines of a drawing or map) and figuratively (outlining a vision, plan, or scenario). Common in formal writing and speeches: 勾画蓝图 (to sketch out a blueprint). Similar to 勾勒 but slightly more common in literary and policy contexts. Emphasises the process of defining shape and scope rather than filling in details.
